SHAWNEE'S SECRET SANTA SWAP ...

Shawnee is hosting her Secret Santa Swap again this year !!! I have taken part before, and what a lovely treat to get a Secret Santa Package in the mail ...... just for you :-)

To make it easier for our Secret Santa to put together the perfect package, we have a few questions to answer .... it makes it so much easier if you know what your partners like and dislikes are, so here we go .....

What are your hobbies

I love all things crafty ..... I sew, knit, crochet, scrapbook and bake just about daily ....

What are your favorite colors

Pink, black, white for everyday, but at Christmas red, gold, midnight blue and Christmas green make a strong showing

Do you collect anything

No

Allergies to any fibres or animals

No

Do you have any pets

A turtle, some fish, a leopard gekko and some toads (they are really the kids pets)

Coffee, tea or chocolate

All 3, but the tea must be hot, and plain..... no fancy flavors for me:-)

What do you like to read

I absolutely love stories about the Amish ...... I find their way of life fascinating, and their dedication to their faith very inspiring.

Cookies or candy

Definately chewy candy

Favorite Holiday Treat

Vanilla Tootsie Rolls - I always buy a few extra bags at Christmas to last me through the year

Favorite Holiday Tradition

I make the kids Advent Calendars every year. I also make Christmas PJ'S for us, that we wear on Christmas Eve. We go to Church on Christmas Eve too ...... I absolutely LOVE our Church's Christmas Eve service. This is always followed by dinner at our local Italian Resurant with close family friends of ours.
 Did you believe in Santa

Absolutely

When do you open gifts

Christmas morning

Do you put up a tree

Yes, the first weekend in December

Favorite gifts to give and recieve

Hands down it's handmade gifts - I think they're precious and priceless. Last year my daughter made me a lap quilt - it was a complete surprise ..... she had learned to sew at school just a few weeks earlier. That little quilt is one of my most treasured possessions.
